 Welcome to the Ian Heydon web site.
After two decades of scribbling jokes and other stuff for radio and television in Australia, picking up a few awards and a reasonable living along the way, Ian relocated to Vanuatu for a year when his wife, Annie, was offered a job teaching at Port Vila International School. That year turned into three - a rewarding challenge for Annie, an adventure for the children, James and Laura, and the opportunity for Ian to write some backburner novels that looked like they'd never be written. He also continued to write about travel and, after those three years in the tropics, returned to Australia to rediscover the country through the eyes of a tourist. That journey resulted in The Small Guide to A Big Country (Explore Australia Publishing 2003). The ‘sabbatical' also produced three crime novels, a bunch of web sites and a few songs.
Ian returned to Australia in 2003 and settled in South East Queensland. After five years as a director of Small Guide Travel agency while writing a couple of stage shows, some radio comedy, songs and articles, 2008 sees two new writing challenges, wedding speeches for blokes and eulogies.
